...Been driving for almost 40 years.
Don't know what the heck the deal was. I got a good nights sleep, but was feeling a bit tired.
I woke up zooming down the median at 70 MPH, all four tires in the grass.
It took me a second to get my SA straight, fortunately the trees were of the fescue variety. No guard rails, culverts, embankments, drop offs... Yep the next piece of swiss cheese was solid and nothing bad sneaked through.
I gently applied brakes and rejoined the concrete...
Yes, this is not aviation...my PND only uttered a quiet "umm" and there was no fancy Google guidance system watching my back.
That being said- whenever we see human failures in our aviation world that involve big mistakes, we do need to pause and ask honestly- is it one of those things that unfortunately- and rarely- will still, nonetheless happen sometimes...
(PS- I did not pull back relentlessly on the wheel- and as you can see, I was aware of my speed and attitude)
